Video: NYPD Officers Hit Teen in Face with Gun
Two NYPD officers are under criminal investigation after punching and bashing a 16-year-old suspect in the face with a gun despite the teen raising his hands to surrender, according to a video obtained by DNAinfo New York. The officers from the 79th Precinct are now targets of a criminal investigation conducted by the NYPD’s Internal Affairs Bureau and Brooklyn District Attorney Kenneth Thompson. “What’s depicted on this video is troubling and warrants a thorough investigation,” Thompson said.
